What a lovely couple!! Would definitely go back for their happy faces! Tried CJs for the first time tonight and 2 of 3 of us were pleased!! Kid's face down in the Honey BBQ flatbread pizza. First, the smell of this on the drive home made my mouth water. Then I set it before her and opened the box and almost cried. Beautiful! Tasted amazing! Would absolutely order again! Spouse is making me very jealous with the tongue action licking up his egg and avocado sandwich. I don't know about black olives in egg salad, but I will say that this egg salad has the perfect balance of mayo and mustard. He is in heaven. "Phenomenal," he said and could only eat half of this huge sandwich. Impressive!! So I am the off one out. Usually when I go to a new place, I get something commonly loved so I can hold it up to the bar. This time I went rogue. The Mango Habanero Turkey panini called out to me. But sadly I didn't appreciate the flavor combo with the gooey nacho cheese sauce and a very minimal few pieces of turkey. Where my spouse's sandwich was several fingers high, mine was muy flaco. And the worst part for me was that it didn't survive the short 3 mile drive home. Opening the steamy box produced soggy panini--my biggest pet peeve with carry out orders. Having said that, the lovely owner through in a complimentary cookie and a huge smile and invited me to come back soon. I'm sure we would like to go back for a nice weekend brunch with coffee and their homemade baked goods!! read more

Ordered a chicken pesto wrap and was told the chicken was grilled. Unfortunately, This is absolutely false . And frankly, im surprised that they advertise it as such on the menu. The chicken is definitely not grilled. I think its canned chicken, and its definitely not fresh. The wrap had no taste and did not have any pesto at all. Major disappointment. Please dont advertise the chicken is grilled if its not. read more

Great breakfast experience today! Ownership was very pleasant and they even brought out one of their new items for me to try! Ham & 4Cheese Empanada! Very tasty! Comfortable place for me to set up and get some work done! I'll be back! read more

We were Hungry. We found this place tucked away in a small, newer retail outdoor area. We walked in to see plenty of indoor seats, very open and the cook working the counter was SO nice! Menu has a large variety. I ordered the Basil Panini and my mom ordered the Napa chicken panini that had mushrooms. Hers looked very good and mine was AMAZING! We will return for sure! If you drive through or near Moorpark - I recommend finding this little gem. It's located in the retail area West of Target and in the center where Amazon market is located. read more

Service was good. Employees were very helpful. Food was on the expensive side. For a sandwich shop. Sat down with my friend and enjoyed our lunch. There were a few younger teenagers who were loud. It's not the restaurant fault for unreasonable teenagers. read more

For the second time THIS YEAR, I placed an order online and when I get there to pick it up they are closed. I arrived at 6:30, the time my email said the order would be ready. The posted hours indicated they were open but the place was dark. The charge for the food is currently pending on my credit card. I just tried calling the restaurant this morning to discuss how to get my money back. The manager was not in yet but the worker took my number and said he will call me back. I wished her luck in her job because I can't see this place staying in business much longer. I miss Camille's. Same food, better service. At least they were open when they are supposed to be open. Sorry CJ's, I am done with you. read more

Tastes okay but full of lettuce. Chicken texture feels processed. $17 for this is crazy even in this economy read more

Chicken caesar wrap is my first choice here. Always greeted by friendly staff and usually quiet at the table to enjoy my wrap.

This review is only based upon their service, or lack there of. For the last 20 plus years going back when they were part of the franchise "Camille's", I have ordered Tuscan tomato soup for my better half. I would go out and get my meal and swing back to CJs, for the soup. Tonight at 6:40 pm on a Friday evening, they were not serving customers. Sadly this has happened no less than a dozen times to me, that CJs is randomly closed for the evening. Usually I can see the owner in the back, cleaning and ignoring or just oblivious to me or anyone else trying to get a meal. Initially the soup was $7.00, now it's $9.00. If you do the math based upon going there once a month, sometimes I went more than once a month , it's a few grand. Depressing. I'm not proud to admit that I've patronized CJs even though the multiple times they were closed outside of their posted hours. Tonight I did try calling from outside the restaurant, and still ignored. Thank you for the soup in the past, I'm done trying to guess if you will be open in the future. read more

I came here with a couple friends for some brunch our usual spot was closed on Monday's so I found this little place and I am so sad I didn't know about this place sooner This cafe has very low traffic for how great the food was we ordered a Napa Chicken Panini, Turkey Pretzel Roll, and a spicy chicken strip wrap. Everyone was satisfied no bad opinions it was all delicious. Our food came out so fast and the service was great they brought it to our table made sure we had everything we needed just overall great experience. I'm definitely coming back here read more

Amazing! I always go here to get my lunch here and it's amazing. The service is always great and I love how consistent the food is

Wow! Went with a few friends, hungry after class and this made our day. Not sure who was working, but this gentleman was so quick and kind during his service. He served us all at the same time, in a timely manner, and checked on us too! The food was incredibly flavorful and crisp, we all shared around the table. Not to mention, the place is very clean and decorated to create a calm comfortable space. Also the menu is quite endless, so we will be back trying new things! read more

The service and the food are excellent! The atmosphere is just perfect, particularly if you have a large group and everybody needs to pay for their own meal. The whole wheat bread is not. It is some white bread with a little tinge of beige in it. read more

Parking: no need for street parking, they are located in a plaza with lots of parking space Customer service: everyone was nice and helpful in helping my party and I order. They are short staffed (as stated on their register) but did their best to help us and other customers Paninis: the Napa chicken panini was my favorite. It had the right amount of sauce and crunch to it. I wanted to try their soup of the day (chicken panbpano) which was tasty. I was able to make it a combo by ordering "your two picks." As for the ham and Swiss panini, the pesto made it more delicious. My friend and I were very pleased with our panini and would recommend this place to anyone craving a sandwich or wants to try something new. Drinks: what's cool about this place is their coffee is from coffee bean. It's a two in one place and the drinks taste just like you would expect it. I ordered a large for the hazelnut and matcha blended with caffeine. Overall very happy with my experience read more

HORRENDOUS! to begin, the food was the most disappointing and disgusting thing on the planet. The workers clearly love their sauce, because there was practically a whole water tower of sauce in my roast beef panini, for almost $20. Now, for the chips and salsa. I have no doubt that the salsa came out of a tostados jar and slapped into a bowl, and i can guarantee that the pre packed chips were nothing special and definitely contained butter and milk! The cookies, well... if you want to chip a tooth, these are the right cookies for you! they were not just hard as a rock, they were harder and just plain inedible. For almost $20 for an inedible meal, the ambiance was of that of a 1980s Panera... well it looked like Panera without the cheap prices. The lemonade said it was minute made, but my heart, soul, and stomach don't agree. It without a doubt contained some sort of horrendous chemicals that tasted slightly like urine, so in conclusion, DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU LOVE HIGH PRICES AND WANT A SOAKING WET SANDWICH read more

Good service and I had a delicious wrap with big pieces of chicken and fresh bacon. They have great dessert options as well!

Today I had the half and half, sandwich and potato soup. This was the first time I wasn't wowed by the soups I guess in more used to loaded potato soups. It has a good flavor, but I missed lots of bacon, cheese, and sour cream topping. The staff is friendly. Lots of parking, but the lot is kind of oddly planned out. read more

I've eaten here twice. Once in person: had a flatbread pizza and tomato soup, it was good. Recently ordered pickup: an eggplant panini & a salad. The "avocado quinoa salad" had no avocado and considering the price that was a big bummer. I submitted a "help" ticket through the ordering service and never heard a peep. read more

Stopped here while attending Cal Cup Field Hockey tournament at Moorpark College. Had a great (fresh and nicely prepared) ham and Swiss sandwich on marbled rye bread. Served with chips and salsa. Delicious! Efficient and friendly service as they were dealing with a busy weekend! read more

Me and my three friends just ate at this establishment and when I say that the Basil Chicken Panini is the best sandwich i've ever had, I am NOT lying. The man working was so respectful and provided some of the most amazing service I have ever been given. The restaurant itself was very clean and super nice to be at. I would recommend every one to give it a try because it is truly so good! read more

We have been going here for years now. The fun memories that were had eating amazing food and the good old water fountain. The food is great and there is something for everyone. They had great drinks and their frozen yogurt was so good. They are a great local business to support. If you want to call in a pick they are always on it and you never wait for your food. For a great lunch or dinner place this a great option! They have options for inside and outside sitting and they always have nice calm music on. I have never had to shout and talk loud to say something to my friends or family while eating. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE, I came here with some friends and enjoyed the food so well. The man that gave us service here was unbelievably kind. The vibe, scenery and the ambiance was so relaxing and aesthetic I am 100% coming back. read more

Just walked in to order some food on 7/17 at 5:15 and the front desk person who was a heavyset guy with a hat and the girl next to him had the worse attitude and facial expressions when asking what food they recommend. Next time clock in ready to work or don't get a job that involves customer service read more

I really love Cjs. Such a great lil' restaurant. You can always call to order anything you want to go and they always get the food right, or you can dine in and find yourself there for hours just enjoying your time. The owner is super friendly too and I appreciate the music he plays softly inside. Support CJs, it's been well earned! read more

The Tuna sandwich is delicious! It has a nice crunch from the apple and walnuts. I prefer the marble bread!

3.8 Stars, just couldn't bring myself to give it 4. Very good sandwich, mid soup (needed spice or more seasoning), great lemonade. A bit pricey but worth it for the sandwich, small soup for $7.50, not so much. Incredibly fast service and friendly enough. The music is calming and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Cool vibe, would definitely come back to try something else and bring my own hot sauce. Not sure what salsa they use (Pace?) or make but it was very mild and flavorful enough. read more

Very pleasant restaurant, environment, workers, and delicious food. A new favorite! Thank you!!

Local cafe with good food but semi-pricey. If you're from out of town, I would call for their most current prices and not rely on their website for up-to-date menu prices. Unfortunately, plenty of small business owners just haven't made the time to update their website. Grub Hub and others tends to be up-to-date since they get customers ordering through them. Food is pretty good, except I haven't had their pizza which some reviews state tastes frozen. You can ask if they use frozen pizza or if they make it fresh. Plenty of pizza places use frozen pizza dough, but I don't think that is what the reviews are concerned about. A breakfast bagel with a side of fresh fruit (and it is super fresh) will cost you $14 + tax. It's not a giant bagel either lol. That's a bit much to me but every once and a while I don't mind spending nearly $20 for a bagel breakfast sandwich and cup of coffee ($3.00 with free refills). Customer service is friendly. They do have some young employees, so if you find they've seemed to close up early, and turned off the stoves an hour before they close, call next time and ask to speak to the manager to confirm hours and last call for ordering. Try to give them some grace, we all probably did something like that back in the day. read more

Recently came here for lunch with my daughter and my girlfriend on Saturday, June 14, 2025 Had heard great things about this place and was sort of excited to try it out. Too bad the food my girlfriend ordered a grilled chicken wrap and I ordered a club sandwich, we ordered a blueberry pie smoothie for our daughter and pb&j sandwich. First of all, the grilled chicken wrap was horrendously disgusting. The chicken and cheese and vegetables looked like they came out of a frozen package and were microwaved for not quite long enough and then shoved into a tortilla and pressed into a machine to get grill marks on it. My girlfriend wouldn't even eat it, it was so gross. My club sandwich was ok but it had literally one piece of tiny scraggly bacon on it which was honestly so small I couldn't taste it, I had to open the sandwich in order to confirm it was present. Also beware the tortilla chips that come with nearly every meal. If you're lactose intolerant, DO NOT EAT THE TORTILLA CHIPS! That's honestly the only time time I've found tortilla chips to contain both butter and milk. The last thing that really set the icing on the cake was that there are literally no prices on any of the items anywhere. Our bill was over $60 for a sandwich, disgusting wrap, a kid's pb&j and smoothie. Next time I'll just go somewhere else like Jersey Mike's or Panera for half the cost. Not to mention there was a constant stream of water with a large puddle near the soda fountain. I watched nearly every customer dodge the puddle as it was right in the walkway. We even warned an elderly man with a cane who was walking over it while the employees did absolutely nothing to try and clean it up. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of value on our visit as well as the disregard for cleanliness and safety for patrons. read more

Do you appreciate a restaurant that serves consistently great sandwiches? Here is your place. This was my favorite place until I moved away pre-pandemic. I recently returned for a work week and it's the same great palace and the owner has kept a high standard for upkeep. Sadly, not the same size lunch crowd, I remember when it was hard to get a table. But I guess that's the result of a hybrid work week. I just took a co-worker here for lunch and he said, "Wow, I have to come back here." Yes, I do. read more

I take back my one star review. The wraps here are p dank tbh. Moorpark doesn't have many decent things. This is one of them. read more

I visited this restaurant twice for breakfast and lunch the food was good but nothing to rave about. The service of their employee behind the counter was very poor. Rude behavior both times. Didn't make me feel welcome also if had questions it was an inconvenience for this employee to answer and his rude attitude! Why do I the consumer/ customer would want to spend so much money at a place with such disgusting behavior! It's mainly the gentleman behind the cash register! read more

The service was attentive, accurate with our order and thoughtful in bringing an extra plate as they knew I was sharing with someone else. We were very surprised at how good the food was. The menu was not clear on all ingredients inside the panini we were ordering. But the spread was fantastic and the eggs were a great texture. I would definitely go there again. read more
